Su Tao touched her stomach again as she spoke. It was as if she had not eaten lunch at all. She finished the little dry food she had left and was barely 70% full. She ate some nuts at Lanlan's house and only then did she no longer feel hungry. If she continued to eat such meals in the future, she would definitely not have the energy to go to work.
Yu He couldn't help but complain when he heard this.
"Yeah, you don't know. We paid so much food, but we only got this little lunch. The stir-fried dishes were just boiled in water, without even a drop of oil. It even makes my throat choke. But isn't building a house too uneconomical? What will happen to the house when we return to the city?"
After all, you can’t take the house with you, so wouldn’t the money be wasted?
Su Tao couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this.
"It's not that easy to go back to the city. Every year, so many educated youth go to the countryside, and there are only one or two spots. Do you think you'll get one? Or does your family have someone who can get you back?"
Sun Jianhua and Yu He fell silent immediately after hearing this. They really didn't know how to respond. Of course they wanted to go back to the city. They wanted to go back to the city on the first day after going to the countryside.
But if their family really had such great power, they wouldn't have to go to the countryside.
Su Tao and the other two were in such a depressed mood, so she said comfortingly, "I'm just sharing my opinion. Maybe you guys are extremely lucky. I'm just saying it. If you don't have any such thoughts, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Seeing that they had arrived at their destination, the three of them stopped discussing this topic.
The three of them politely exchanged with the villagers for the things they needed, as well as some of the dishes they were going to eat next. When they returned to the Youth League Home with a lot of things, the boxes they bought had also been delivered.
Carpenter Wu's son even helped the three of them move their boxes into the dormitory. When the other new educated youths who were originally working in the educated youth home saw the three of them and how they had exchanged a lot of things for them, they shamelessly approached them and asked about their belongings.
However, the three of them did not hide anything and told them all the information they knew.
Zheng Hongying originally had an average relationship with the new educated youth, but because of Su Tao's sharing, she became more familiar with her.
"Thank you, Su Zhiqing. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know where to buy a cabinet to store my clothes."
"You're welcome. We all went to the countryside together, so it's only natural for us to help each other." Su Tao had a good relationship with Zheng Hongying, so she was happy to make friends with her.
As for the other two female educated youth, it was enough for them not to be sarcastic to her, and she didn't expect them to thank her.
The two girls chatted for a while, and then Zheng Hongying left the Youth League Home to exchange the things she needed. Tian Yulan and Li Meifang said nothing, but tactfully followed her out of the Youth League Home.
Suddenly, Su Tao was the only one left in the girls' dormitory. Su Tao did not continue to be lazy. After cleaning the cabinet, she began to put the clothes and valuables in the package into the cabinet. By the way, she took out the lock that had been prepared long ago and locked it.
Only then did I start to organize the dishes I had exchanged for and various things I could use on a daily basis.
Su Tao often helps with housework at home. She has learned cooking from her mother and has even learned the art of making kimchi.
She changed a lot of vegetables this time, intending to use them to make some dried vegetables and pickles.
There was no way around it. By the end of October, the weather in the Red Star Brigade had gradually become colder. With temperatures reaching 17 or 18 degrees Celsius, they all needed to wear long sleeves.
In this kind of weather, vegetables cannot be kept for long. The only way to preserve them is to make pickles and dried vegetables. Fortunately, she often makes these at home, so this is not difficult for her. Seeing that Su Tao was busy all the time, Sun Jianhua helped her fetch water and pack the vegetables they bought.
Sun Jianhua and Yu He couldn't cook, let alone make kimchi, so Su Tao taught them how to cook the vegetables he bought.
It just so happened that they went to the countryside at an unfortunate time, as grain would be distributed soon, so the brigade did not lend grain to the new educated youth, but instead asked them to go to the brigade to exchange some grain for themselves first.
However, the brigade did not have much food in stock, so they could only exchange about 10 kilograms for them.
Su Tao and her friends only exchanged 15 kilograms each. If they ate sparingly, they could eat until the autumn harvest, so they needed to exchange more vegetables so that they could be full with coarse grains.
However, Song Tanglan didn't know this because she didn't need to exchange food at all, so no one among the new educated youth reminded her.
When the people from the Youth League Home came back after exchanging things, Su Tao had already finished packing the vegetables.
…
After Su Tao left, Song Tanglan and her sister started chatting about family matters, asking about the situation at home, including why Song Tanglan went to the countryside.
When Song Tangcheng found out that her sister had to go to the countryside because she was framed by others, she was very angry. She was so angry that she wanted to run to the next brigade and tear Yang Chunyan apart.
Seeing her second sister so excited, Song Tanglan thought of the plot of the original book and thought that her second sister was probably pregnant at this time, so she immediately comforted her.
"It's okay, second sister. Even if I didn't have Yang Chunyan's trick, in a few months, if I didn't find a job, I would still have to go to the countryside. Maybe by then I would be assigned to a place even farther away, and I wouldn't be able to stay with you!"
"That's what I say, but I just can't get over it. My family thought she was a good person. Seeing that she often didn't have enough to eat, we often invited her to eat at home. I didn't expect her to be such an ungrateful person."
When Song Tangcheng said this, she was so angry that her eyes turned red. She asked why her sister suddenly had to go to the countryside, and so hastily. When she received the news, she was stunned for a long time and thought something had happened at home.
